Hi,

Regarding this subject, the IERS is running a survey about UTC
definition change.

The survey was announced in the latest C bulletin (42) available at

ftp://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/bulletinc.42

"
IMPORTANT: After years of discussions, a proposal to fundamentally
redefine UTC will come to a conclusive vote in January 2012 at the ITU-R
in Geneva.

This proposal would halt the intercalary adjustments known as leap seconds
that maintain UTC as a form of Universal Time.

The Earth Orientation Center of the IERS organizes a survey online with
the objective to find out the strength of opinion for maintaining or
changing the present system.

Link to the questionnaire:

Your response is appreciated before 30 August 2011
"

Regards.
